That clutch is not going to hold that power level for very long.

I see no mention of a tune in there; that scares me. A stock, GMS1, or any stock turbo tune on that EFR turbo will blow that motor FAST.

Though there are no check marks next to the turbo.

Possible he never installed the turbo.

Snap a pic of the turbo when you can and most here will tell you asap what you have.

From what I've been told the car hit 30+psi. It has all the other stuff listed. But have not seen the engine bay yet.

Tried to get a few pictures of turbo and engine bay, but it was dark out and not much room. Looks like shocks/struts are stock, but with aftermarket coils.









Looks stock, but i know nothing?





Dont know if there is anything worth seeing in this picture, of turbo.. just a couple numbers maybe?

Is that some sort of an injector going to cold air intake tube?





Near turbo





Stock strut?








One of the first things I want to change! Really dislike the rough lowered ride of the car!

Larger FMIC?

Yeah looks like a stock turbo, I'm sure the 7163 can't have the top heatshield on

Gotcha, guess i should change my username.. (couldnt figure out what to make it) if thats the case.. Played with the turbo this morning, and for the most part it was sticking between 23-25psi.. would only spike up if tires were spinning. Which makes sense that it is probably the stock turbo. Couldnt imagine modifying the car for more performance. These cars are impressive.. Is that an injector of some sort or a vacuume line attached to the cold-air intake?

Someone also pointed out, about the checkmarks on that list.. which also makes sense, becuase the car has continental tires and not Nittos, so im assuming it may be a stock FMIC, though i dont know why th FMIC tubes would be changed?

First thing I want to look at doing to the car and would be glad for anyones suggestions is raise car back upto stock height, with new shocks, struts, and springs.. Kyb, Konis, ? Stock? What about springs? Ill do some research in forum when i have time, but it looks like most people lower there cars..

that would be the pcv hose, it just vents pressure back into the intake.

if you are looking for a good ride height and a handling upgrade look into powell yyz springs, i think they are roughly an inch lower then stock and ride same or better then stock. some people have good results with road magnet springs as well but i cannot comment too much on them because i dont have them

It's hard to tell on the FMIC but if it has plastic end tanks then it's the stock if it's all the same material then it's aftermarket

The car looks way better lowered, if I where you I would go with ottperformance springs (road magnet makes them for him now) or powell either way you shouldn't be disappointed drop is pretty good if you don't want to go super low
